ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE & PAYMENT
All exhibit space will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Show management reserves the right to reassign booth space or make adjustments to the exhibit space diagram if necessary. Full payment is due at time of contract submission.

Space will not be assigned until completed exhibit space agreement is received with payment in full. No exhibitor shall assign, sublet, or share the whole or any part of the space contracted under any circumstances without prior written consent of the American Orthodontic Society (AOS).

Companies found to be subletting or sharing exhibit space will be asked to dismantle and leave the exhibit hall without refund, if consent has not been granted in advance. Such requests must be submitted to the American Orthodontic Society.
